 entific and practical bee-book published to- 

 day. Fully illustrated, and all written in the 

 most fascinating style. The author is also 

 too well-known to the whole bee-world to re- 



?uire any introduction. No bee-keeper is

New York, July 30.— There is some little 

 new Southern comb honey on the market, 

 mostly irregular quality and selling at from 



9 to lie. Extracted of all kinds is In good

 but little stock on hand.

 to 10c; amber, 7 to 8!4c. Extracted, white 

 6@6i4c. ; light amber, 5H to 6c. Beeswax

Although stocks are very light, the quality 

 of this year's crop Is of a much higher average 

 than was generally expected, considering the 

 dry season. There is some of this year's pro- 

 duct which is of exceptionally fine quality. 

 Market is llrm at quotations.

 Beeswax. 25 to 26c. 



The market for honey is In very good condi- 

 tion ; while there is yet a little of the old crop 

 on hand, it is In very good order, and some de- 

 mand, which will clear off everything before 

 the new crop will arrive, very plentifully. 

 There is already some receipts of new, but 

 mostly extracted, and some very good qual- 

 ity, yet we fear the danger Is In extracting 

 too early, belore the honey is fairly ripened 

 We anticip;ite agood demand a little later, 

 and think values will remain about the same 

 as present guiitatlons. A. V. Bishop & Co. 



Bnffolo, Aug'. 12.— Fruit prevents a large 

 demand for any kind of honey at present. A 

 few cases of fancy one-pound new comb can 

 be sold dally at ll@l2c. ; but any grade below 

 must be urged at proportionately lower 

 prices. Woulil advise writing us before ship- 

 ping here. Tnere is no demand yet for ex- 

 tracted Batterson & Co.
